Modern Fig Pudding

Ingredients

• 2.33 cups Stale bread crumbs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 Eggs
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.75 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 lb Suet, finely chopped
• 0.5 lb Dried figs, finely chopped
• 1 Large sour apple, cored, peeled, and chopped
• 0.25 lb Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Butter, for greasing

Instructions

1. 1Finely chop the suet. Work the chopped suet with your hands until it becomes creamy. Add the finely chopped figs to the suet and mix well.
2. 2In a separate bowl, soak the stale bread crumbs in milk until they are softened.
3. 3In another bowl, beat the eggs well. Add the sugar and salt to the beaten eggs and mix until well combined.
4. 4Add the egg mixture to the soaked bread crumbs. Then, add the suet and fig mixture, chopped apple, and brown sugar. Mix all ingredients together until thoroughly combined.
5. 5Grease a pudding mold or heat-safe bowl with butter. Pour the pudding mixture into the prepared mold. Cover tightly with a lid or foil. Steam the pudding for 3 hours. To steam, place the mold in a large pot with enough water to come halfway up the sides of the mold. Keep the water simmering gently throughout the steaming process.
6. 6Carefully remove the steamed pudding from the mold. Serve warm with your choice of sauce (Yellow Sauce I or II, or custard).
